A stylish luxury villa with three double bedrooms and two twin rooms, sleeping up to ten. Nestled in the hills near the town of Gouvia. Whether you're on a romantic couples' break, a family holiday or a friends' getaway, Villa Asteria is sure to impress. The spacious master bedroom features a plush double bed with a mirrored headboard, a stylish dressing table and a sleek en-suite with double sinks and a walk-in shower. But the best part of the master bedroom has got to be its private terrace with gorgeous views over the pool and across the Corfu countryside.
The other double bedrooms are themed as the nature room and the swimming pool room. The, 'nature' bedroom room is a relaxing oasis with vaulted wooden ceilings and white walls with garden views, and a modern en-suite with a walk-in shower. As you might imagine, the swimming pool room has doors opening right onto the pool – perfect for early birds who like to get in a sunrise swim or fancy a midnight dip before bed. The final bedroom is a small twin with its own en-suite and balcony with views out over the countryside.
For those who love to cook, you'll find a fully equipped kitchen in the open plan living area as well as an outdoor barbecue for al fresco dining. Villa Asteria is also packed with facilities for those who want to keep up their fitness regime on holiday, with an indoor and outdoor heated pool, a gym and a full-sized tennis court. Kids and big kids alike can have fun shooting pool at the pool table, and the villa is also a great option for wheelchair users, thanks to the lift that makes every floor accessible.
A five-minute drive away is the town of Gouvia. It has two lovely beaches with shallow waters perfect for small children; rent some loungers and catch some rays, or try your hand at all kinds of watersports. The island's capital, Corfu Town, is also only a twenty-minute drive with its buzzing nightlife, cultural sites, tasty restaurants and shopping boutiques.
What you should know…
- One of the bedrooms features twin beds and is therefore perhaps better suited to friends or children sharing
- Only a 20-minute drive from the airport - ideal for those travelling with younger children!

With its UNESCO World Heritage status and unbeatable strolling opportunities, there is no better place to start exploring than the main town and its historic old quarter, where ancient churches, scattered ruins and a handful of museums mean Corfu’s layers of history can be found just about everywhere. And if you’re in need of a cosy abode, take a look at our flawless villas in Corfu.
